The SIT officials, who have already filed a chargesheet in the AP liquor scam, filed another charge sheet consisting of 200 pages in the ACB special court on Monday. Officials said that key evidence has been included in the second chargesheet on the role of the three key accused.
They revealed that the call data record, Google Takeout and other laptop details of Dhanunjay Reddy, Krishnamohan Reddy and Balaji Govindappa have been added to the chargesheet. The SIT officials have confirmed that the role of these three was crucial in the change in the liquor policy, syndicate meetings and bribery on the orders of `Bigg Boss’.
The SIT officials have found that Balaji Govindappa had given suggestions on how to collect liquor bribes, where to hide them and how to change black to white. Then, Dhanunjay Reddy interfered in the formulation of the liquor policy at every step. They have also collected details on who took the liquor bribes and how much it reached.
Officials say that they have also collected details of the phone conversations of these three with Vijay Sai Reddy and Mithun Reddy. It is reported that the SIT has included Google Takeout evidence that Dhanunjay Reddy attended liquor syndicate meetings several times. The SIT explained that Dhanunjay Reddy and Krishnamohan Reddy also withdrew some of the money from these bribes.
The SIT said that this amount was invested in the names of benami and it has collected evidence related to this. The SIT recalled that the first charge sheet with 305 pages was filed on July 19th of last month. The SIT submitted various documents, laptops, tabs and hard disks in three trunk boxes along with the charge sheet to the court.
In the first charge sheet, the SIT clarified that the money, through Raj Kasireddy, reached Mithun Reddy and Vijay Sai Reddy, and from there, through Balaji Govindappa, it reached the then Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
It is learnt that the accused have been found to have made business investments in benami names and evidence in this regard has also been included in the second chargesheet. It is known that earlier, on July 19, the SIT officials had filed the first charge sheet consisting of 305 pages. The latest chargesheet contains more legal elements.
